Let's start getting what is on the inside, out 👏

In preparation for World Su***de Prevention Day on September 10th, we’re encouraging you to wear an item or items of clothing inside out and start the conversation on what really matters - our wellbeing 💚

Post a photo on your social media channels, tag us, and use the hashtag,

This simple act sparks conversation, and just might save a life by helping someone open up about mental health and su***de 🗣️

🌟 Supporter Spotlight 🌟

A massive shoutout to Chloe, who raised an incredible £1519 for If U Care Share by hiking an incredible 24 Wainwrights! 💚

On the experience, Chloe was quoted saying:

"I took on this challenge in honour of my brother, who we sadly lost to su***de last year. I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone while carrying him with me every step of the way. I’d done hikes before, but always stuck to the lower ones — so deciding to complete 24 Wainwrights in 7 months felt huge. And to finish on Helvellyn, the third highest Wainwright, with a scramble I never thought I’d be confident enough to do… that was my way of proving to myself just how far I could go.

Zola, my golden retriever, joined me for most of the hikes and was an absolute star. She tackled every trail with me and kept me going on the tough days.

Fundraising for If U Care Share has meant the world to me and my family. After losing my brother, their support has been incredible, and knowing the money raised will help other families going through the same heartbreak has kept me motivated throughout this challenge. The kindness from friends, family, and everyone who donated has been overwhelming — I’m so grateful for every single message and contribution.

If anyone is thinking about doing a fundraising challenge but isn’t sure, I’d say go for it. You’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve when you put your mind to something meaningful. It’s tough, emotional, and sometimes scary, but the reward at the end is indescribable.

I’ve loved every second of this journey. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and donated. And to anyone struggling — please reach out to If U Care Share. From personal experience, they are a lifeline for you and your loved ones."

We are so grateful for Chloe's (and Zola's!) amazing tenacity and commitment to supporting our lifesaving cause! A huge congratulations 🤲

We're delighted to be teaming up with Re-f-use for an Inside Out restaurant night💚

Check out the post below for more information and for the ticket link⬇

RESTAURANT NIGHT WITH IF U CARE SHARE 💚
-----------------------------------------------------------
We’re really excited to be teaming up with the brilliant If U Care Share Foundation for a very special REfUSE Restaurant Night.

For one evening, our café will be transformed into a restaurant, serving up a delicious menu made with rescued food, and this time, we’ll be raising support for a cause that means so much to our community.

If U Care Share is a North East charity working to prevent su***de, support people affected by suicidal thoughts, and provide support to those bereaved by su***de. They believe that talking can save lives, and their work focuses on prevention, intervention and helping people through some of the most difficult times in their lives.

It’s a charity that reminds us of something we believe in every day at REfUSE: people matter, and nobody should feel like they have to face things alone.

Tickets available here, with a contribution from each ticket going towards If U Care Share: https://www.ticketsource.com/refuse-cic/t-ejqxrzz
